There are about 36633 clinical studies being (or have been) conducted in France. The country of the clinical trial is determined by the location of where the clinical research is being studied. Most studies are often held in multiple locations & countries.
Contraception among women in France has evolved considerably and has become a frequent reason for consultation in general practice in view of the growing shortage of gynaecologists practising in towns. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) are the leading reversible contraceptive method used in the world, but only 20.7% of women in France were using them in 2010. In practice, in France, use of the IUD is still "reserved" for older women or those who have already had children, despite medical recommendations. In this study the investigator will investigate whether clear information about the mode of action and insertion/withdrawal of IUDs would dispel these misconceptions of patients.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether elranatamab monotherapy can provide clinical benefit compared to lenalidomide monotherapy (control) in participants with newly diagnosed multiple myeloma after undergoing autologous stem cell transplant. In Part 1 and Part 2 of the study, participants in the study will either receive elranatamab (arm A and C) as an injection under the skin at the study clinic or lenalidomide orally once daily at home (arm B). Participation in the study will be approximately five years
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a major neurodevelopmental disorder with an estimated prevalence of approximately one in 500 children. It is characterised by permanent developmental disorders of movement and posture, responsible for activity limitations, caused by non-progressive damage to the brain of the fetus, newborn or infant during development. The neurobiological mechanisms involved in CP remain poorly understood, although the interruption of cerebral oxygen supply during pregnancy or at the time of delivery is classically considered to be the main factor causing neurodevelopmental sequelae. CP also occurs in full-term infants without a clearly identifiable etiology. Data from the literature suggest the existence of other pathophysiological processes than only acquired brain lesions related to pregnancy and delivery, such as genetic or epigenetic factors. According to some research teams, nearly one third of CP could have a genetic cause or could be favoured by genetic variants. Preliminary research has made significant progress in revealing unusual copy number variants and/or mutations in single genes in children with CP. Several of the identified genes are involved in neurodevelopment and neuronal connectivity. Nevertheless, the identification of these abnormalities in CP may contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of this complex and multifactorial disorder. It could also shed new light on the analysis of medico-legal files and bring encouraging perspectives by targeting new therapeutic interventions. The main hypothesis is that a certain number of cerebral palsies are related to - or favoured by - genetic abnormalities that we will search for with genetic screening tests.
The dorsalis major flap is an interesting therapeutic option in breast reconstruction because of reliability and reproducibility. In recent years, the minimal flap technique has been developed, which consists of removing only a portion of the of the large dorsal muscle to reduce the painful and functional sequelae of this surgery. The objective of this prospective study is to evaluate the functional and aesthetic results in patients who have undergone who have undergone this procedure (prospective cohort) or who will undergo this procedure or prosthetic reconstruction (prospective cohort). The investigators also wish to evaluate the quality of life of patients after reconstruction with a minimal harvest dorsalis flap or a prosthesis or prosthesis in the prospective cohort.

This study is conducted within the frame of the Post-Market Surveillance (PMS) activities, as described in the Post Market Clinical Follow-up (PMCF) plan of Vectorio®. This study aims at collecting clinical data, to confirm the General Safety and Performance Requirements of Vectorio® which is a Lipiodol Resistant Mixing & Injection System for cTACE.
Several studies have recently tested the use of muscle vibration for the rehabilitation of patients after a stroke. When applied in a repeated and focused manner, this vibration appears to promote the recovery of functional capacities through the mechanisms of neuromuscular plasticity. These results are encouraging, showing in particular a significant decrease in spasticity in post-stroke patients in the chronic phase (> 6 months after stroke), on the upper and/or lower limbs. However, very few studies have been done on this type of early intervention. Muscle vibration may therefore be an innovative therapy to complement the care that is currently offered in the acute and subacute phase of post-stroke rehabilitation. Moreover, brain plasticity after a stroke is particularly high in the 3 months after the accident, but the vast majority of studies having evaluated the impact of vibration in a chronic phase (> 12 months post-stroke). It is likely, however, that the influence of vibration, particularly on brain plasticity, is increased in the acute or subacute phase (first 6 months). To date, the effect of vibration on spinal cord or cortical plasticity has not been quantified in the acute or subacute phase. This is why the second part of this project (phase 2) aims to systematically evaluate and quantify the neuroplastic and functional effects of post-stroke vibration in the early phase. Phase 1 - Validation of a method for measuring spasticity (upper limb) with an isokinetic dynamometer 32 patients with ischemic and/or hemorrhagic stroke (> 3 months after stroke) Phase 2 - Use of this objective technique to measure the effect of a muscle vibration protocol to limit the onset of spasticity in a population of 100 patients following a stroke, in the acute or subacute phase (< 6 weeks post-stroke) in a randomized trial: - intervention group: usual rehabilitation + muscle vibrations - control group: usual rehabilitation + placebo vibrations
Substance Use Disorder (SUD) and Eating Disorders (ED) are severe and persistent disturbances that are associated with significant harm. These two disorders have many clinical similarities, including craving and behavioral loss of control. Recently, craving for food has been described in newly abstinent patients with SUD. the aim of the study is to verify the hypothesis of addiction transfer based on common neurobiological mechanisms between substance craving and food craving, that postulates that food craving would correspond to an attempt to regulate substance craving (or vice versa).
Natural infection, vaccines and treatments (like monoclonal antibodies) lead to the appearance of a neutralizing power in the serum (due to induced or injected antibodies). This neutralizing power is recognized as a correlate of protection against a (new) infection. This study aims to measure the neutralizing power of the serum of patients (whether or not they have been infected with SARS-CoV-2) according to the treatments and/or vaccines received and to assess the durability of this power in the time.
